CAMHS assessment?

I am going to a CAMHS assessment, what would happen if I told them I was suicidal? (Britain)

    Hi. If you tell them that you're having suicidal thoughts they will risk assess you to determine if you are a danger to yourself. It's highly unlikely that you would be hospitalised but they will have to tell your parents so that they can keep a close eye on you at home. They won't share anything else you've told them. They also won't prescribe medication because of your age, your symptoms will be treated with talking therapies.
